Economy, Technology Shape Moving-Image Industry In N. Texas; DPA, TXMPA Push State to Improve Production Incentives/Rebates
The moving-image industry in North Texas -- movies, commercials, corporate and music videos, animation, television programming, gaming, etc. -- makes an estimated $128 million annual economic impact on the region. Maintaining that pace will depend on the economy, technology, changing consumer tastes and the staying power of more than 220 production firms and their vendors, says Clayton Coblentz, President of the Dallas Producers Association, which marks its 30th Anniversary on Dec. 2. The DPA and the Texas Motion Picture Alliance, which it helped found, are lobbying the Texas Legislature to improve grants (a.k.a. rebates, incentives) from 5% to woo more film and commercial makers back to the Lone Star State.
